The first ever Frisco Football Classic will have the Miami-Ohio RedHawks squaring off against the North Texas Mean Green today in Frisco, Texas. The Mean Green are clicking at the right time and carry a 5-game winning streak going into today’s contest. They have a defense that has held their opponents to an average of just 17 points over the last 5 games and have a punishing running attack that is averaging 246.0 yards per game. The RedHawks get it done through the air and if the Mean Green can slow down their high powered passing attack, which they can do, they get this one. North Texas is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as an underdog. Miami (OH) is currently a 2½ point favorite but are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 when they are giving.
